A Menina que Matou os Pais

This is a mediocre flick but I like it better than its partner, The Boy who Killed my Parents, a movie made by the same director with the same actors playing the same parts. One movie is from the girl's POV and the other is from her beau's POV. They each accuse the other of being the mastermind behind the crime. I find this one more believable and it seems as if Carla Diaz is actually better in this one. Nonetheless, this is still a production plagued with horrible dubbing and/or subtitles. Alas, even when I turn the titles and dubbing off the actors are nowhere fast. The visuals are hinky as well. This is based on the true story of Suzane von Richtofen and the murder of her parents.

This is one of the two films released simultaneously about the most famus of the Brazilian crimes, in which university student Suzane killed her parents with her boyfriend and his brother. The exact participation is exactly why we have two films. One with her own version, and other with her boyfriend's.

This will only appeal to Brazilians, because of how famous the entire affair is. It is not particularly interesting as a crime, for fans of the genre. The film focuses on the events that led to it, not the act per se. Which is a good decision, people want to know how they were able to do such a brutal murder, without remorse.

The idea of two films is interesting, and though they are very similar (most scenes shot only once), the films should be seen in sequence (the order doesn't matter). They are short, under 90 minutes each.

Acting is surprisingly OK, I believe most people expected an exploitation spectacle. It has a lot more dignity than that. Nothing fantastic, but it will be enough for the millions who are curious to understand what is not understandable. I would have liked to see more of the crime, the lack of images leaves a lukewarm sensation. I dont like brutality at all, but you can only "feel" this whole story within a brutality scenario.

For some reason my previous rate and review has been deleted. I am wondering why!

All those spammers giving a 10 rate don't know nothing about movie.

As I said before, most of the acting was weak. It seems that they were playing a soap opera. The both main character was hard to believe, not natural at all.

The better acting was from the guy who played the brother Christian ! By the way he is the only reason that I am giving 3 stars. Otherwise would be a zero.

The script was also weak and superficial.

Also the make up and hair stylist was weird, some point at the movie the main character was looking like a zombie from The Walking Dead and that wig??? Really ?!!

I could even watch the second movie about the Boy view ... the first 10 minutes was painful.

If you are a movie lover and know about movie don't waste your time! If you are a soap opera lover this movie will be very entertaining for you.

Exepctation was high! A intriguing crime that shook the midia. A privileged daughter who kills her parents. I've red somewhere here that watching the movie, it felt like it was fake. Sure did! Fake dialogs, fake scenes, fake situations, typical movie made by who doesn't know how to tell stories. It's lke that all actors got together and decided to make a movie in the night before, very poor drama. And what about 2 films about pratically the same narrative. Similar and often same takes used to tell the story. At least, with just one movie with 2 visions could earn an extra star.

Been told before, both as bios and in documentaries, girl hate mum and dad, and drives boyfriend into a hateful rage of anger towards his girlfriends parents, who takes the blowjob blowing their heads into salami.

Its average acted, the court settings seems very artificial, and the build up seems to me far too big, what about the aftermath?, did they call themselves in, did they flee on a busy bee.? What about the little brother...

well its a time filler for you that likes true crime dramas, and understanding the portugese language is an upperhand. So just a 6 from the grumpy old man, abla no portugese.
